Mikaela Shiffrin, Breezy Johnson win world championships team combined; Shiffrin ties medal record
Americans Mikaela Shiffrin and Breezy Johnson won the first team combined race in World Alpine Skiing Championships history as Shiffrin earned a record-tying 15th career world medal.
Johnson, who won the downhill world title last Saturday, had the fourth-fastest downhill run on Tuesday. Shiffrin was third-fastest in the slalom.
They prevailed by 39 hundredths of a second over Swiss Lara Gut-Behrami and Wendy Holdener.
Shiffrin tied the all-time record with her 15th career world championships medal. Shiffrin already held the modern-era record since worlds became a biennial event after World War II. In the 1930s, worlds were held annually.

Shiffrin raced for the second time since being sidelined for two months after tearing oblique muscles in a Nov. 30 giant slalom crash.
The other U.S. pairs placed fourth (Lauren Macuga, Paula Moltzan), 10th (Jackie Wiles and Katie Hensien) and 16th (Lindsey Vonn and AJ Hurt) on Tuesday.
Vonn placed 21st in the downhill run, 2.51 seconds behind Macuga, as she continues her comeback from a five-year retirement.
Vonn plans to retire for good after the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics, should she make the team next winter, which would make the team combined her final world championships race.
Vonn will not race the last two individual events at worlds, Thursday's giant slalom and Saturday's slalom.
The team combined is making its world championships debut this year and its Olympic debut next year, replacing the individual combined.
Nations field up to four teams of one downhill skier and one slalom skier for one run each. Final standings are determined by combined times.
The U.S. pairings for worlds were determined by what U.S. Ski and Snowboard called 'data-driven selection criteria,' including 'matching the top downhill skier with the top slalom skier based off of season-best results, then moving down the list of athletes to create four potential teams.'
Worlds continue Wednesday with the men's team combined, live at 4 and 7:15 a.m. ET on Peacock.

The kind that reveals the truth at the core of the tale, telling the entire saga of a place and its people. One of those fables passed down and recited from one generation to the next, each version carrying a few new details and a little more punch. The more times the story gets told, the more ubiquitous it becomes. The more it becomes the truth. There's a story about Oakmont Country Club the members love to tell. And they're right to tell it. Because it's the perfect story about the hardest golf course in America, the place just outside of Pittsburgh hosting the U.S. Open this week. It's the perfect story about the Fownes family, the father and son who built this course and believed so deeply in the sanctity of par, the famous W.C. Fownes line goes: 'A shot poorly played should be a shot irrevocably lost.' And this story? The people of Oakmont always believed it to be factual. Until very recently. 'Well…' Oakmont historian David Moore says with a chuckle. 'There's a little debate about that right now.' Read more on the fact (and fiction) surrounding this historic course, below. GO FURTHER Oakmont, the site of this year's U.S. Open, and the tall tale that tells it all Oakmont Country Club, near the Allegheny River in western Pennsylvania, has center stage for a record 10th time in the history of the U.S. Open. The course, known for its precision-cut greens and treacherously deep rough, lived up to its reputation during a chaotic first round where several of golf's top stars, including world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, struggled mightily. The U.S. Open was also held here in 1927, 1935, 1953, 1962, 1973, 1983, 1994, 2007, and most recently in 2016, where Dustin Johnson won his first career major. Both the country club and golf course were established in 1903. It sits 1,000 feet above sea level and is a par 70 for U.S. Open tournaments. Summer may be here, but the action across the sports world rolls on! The NBA Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers is in full swing, as is the NHL's Stanley Cup Final between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers. Additionally, the drama in the MLB season is ramping up ahead of the trade deadline, and the FIFA Club World Cup in the U.S. is just around the corner!

'The Traitors' Season 4 cast revealed: 2 Delaware figure skaters and an Eagles mom
The most treacherous show on reality TV is back with a whole new cohort. "The Traitors" revealed its Season 4 cast on June 13, according to a press release from Peacock. The lineup includes up stars from franchises like "Big Brother," "Love Island" and "The Real Housewives," as well as a certain celebrity football mom. There also will a few Delaware and Philadelphia-area connections too. The Emmy-winning series will see three-time national champion and two-time Olympian Johnny Weir, the Greenville resident who began competitive skating at 12 at the University of Delaware. Also the figure skating world, Tara Lipinski, who had periodically trained at UD before becoming the youngest figure-skating Olympic gold medalist when she won the women's singles at age 15, will also appear on the show. In line with the trend of having a celebrity relative on the cast − last season saw Zac Efron's brother Dylan Efron become one of its winners − the newest season will include Donna Kelce, the mother of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce. Viewers will have to wait for the season premiere before learning which contestants will be Faithfuls and which will be Traitors. And just like Season 2 and 3, there's a possibility more reality stars will be revealed later on. Here is who is officially on the Season 4 cast, according to Peacock.
